Key Ingredient

Benzoyl Peroxide 5%

This is the hero ingredient in Benzac AC 5% Gel. It works on multiple levels:

• Oxygenates pores to kill acne-causing bacteria.

• Reduces oil buildup that clogs pores.

• Encourages mild exfoliation for smoother skin texture.

• Helps prevent new pimples from forming.
  
  

How to Use (Please Read Carefully)

Step 1: Start with clean, dry skin. Wash gently with a mild cleanser or Benzac AC Wash and pat dry.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of Benzac AC 5% Gel to the affected areas only (avoid eyes, lips, and mouth).

Step 3: Use once daily for the first few days. If no irritation occurs, gradually increase to twice daily (morning and evening).

Step 4: Always follow with a gentle, oil-free moisturizer to prevent dryness.

Step 5: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning — benzoyl peroxide increases sun sensitivity.

Important Tips:

• If excessive redness or peeling occurs, reduce usage to every other day.

• Avoid mixing with products containing retinol, AHAs, or salicylic acid unless directed by a dermatologist.

• Wash hands thoroughly after application to prevent bleaching of fabrics.
